Of God and Mankind

Job 8:20 20 “Behold, as surely as God will never uphold wrongdoers, He will never cast away a blameless man.” Dear people of God, today’s lead Bible text is a reminder of God’s integrity as far as His Word is concerned. A pastor gave a testimony of how the Lord Jesus Christ once appeared to him and gave him a message to another pastor whose faith was so great that God was performing astounding miracles through him. The message to this pastor was that he should judge himself on his relationship with other ministers, judge himself on money and judge himself on food. The pastor who was sent to deliver the message said he was afraid the other pastor would slap him so he never got the courage to deliver the message. Unfortunately, within 3 years of this directive from the Lord, this pastor with great faith for whom the message was meant died. Why do I tell this true story? It is for us to learn and see that the fact that God performs astounding miracles through a person of g...

  Psalm 89:34  “My covenant I will not violate, nor will I alter the utterance of My lips.” Dear people of God, today’s lead Bible text in Psalm 89:34 is a profound statement by God Almighty and Father of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. What this statement from God means is that there is nothing He has said in His Word that He will fail to perform. A sensible Christian who understands this will look for what God has said by careful, meditative study of God’s Word found only in the Holy Bible, thank God joyously for it, claim it and God will surely perform what His Word has stated. I make bold to say here that the Christian who does not study the Word of God in the Holy Bible to claim the promises therein is only cheating himself of herself. Jesus Christ in one of His divine visits to late Pastor Kenneth E. Hagin (while alive on earth) told him that there are many Christians who are sincere and living right but they do not get what they ask for in pra...

Dear friend, if you have been following my posts over time, you would have noticed the messages are now centered around a theme - the value of God's Word. You see, by God's grace I have come to realize the power and value in God's Word. It's not that God's Word has not always been powerful; it is when Jesus draws you to see the power in His Word that you would understand the value in it. There is nothing in this world that is more important than the Word of God. God's Word has a life of its own, both spiritual and physical. When we are told that God can do all things, it also means His Word can do all things. If God has said something concerning you, be rest assured that it must come to pass. God never speaks empty words because as we are told in the Holy Bible in John 6:63, God's Words are spirit and life. If God's Words are spirit and life, it means they can do spiritual and physical things. This is why the Bible says God spoke th...

There are very many people including Christians who attribute sickness to God but they want the same God to heal them so they pray to Him or visit His anointed (pastors) to pray for their healing. Nowhere in the entire Holy Bible is sickness attributed to God. This is why a Christian should read the Bible and know what it says concerning ALL issues as God has commanded us in Matthew 4:4. One of the most common incident on sickness one can easily relate to in the Holy Bible is about Job. After God commended Job's faithfulness while discussing with satan, we see satan claim that because God's blessing and hedge of protection is around Job, that is why Job is faithful to God. God then gives satan the leeway to test Job's faithfulness and satan goes ahead to attack Job's possessions and family but Job remains faithful - Job 1. At another time in front of satan God again commends Job's faithfulness in spite of all that satan has done to Job, to whic...

Dear people of God, we thank God Almighty for His mercies and blessings over our lives in the last 365 days of 2016 and on this last day of the year. I know some people would want to take stock of their lives during this year and then decide on how they would operate in 2017. Such stock taking would involve different areas of lives, most especially financial and relationships with people. The most important stock for any sensible person to take is of his or her spiritual life. The reason is simple: a person's spiritual life determines the direction of his or her physical life. A person's spiritual life eventually determines where the person will stay during eternity in the afterlife. It is a fact of life that most people, if not all, want a better life. They are therefore eager to do all within their power to achieve that better life. I want to make it clear to all reading this piece that you can become whatever you want to become in life as long as you are am...

1 John 4:14. "And [besides] we ourselves have seen (have deliberately and steadfastly contemplated) and bear witness that the Father has sent the Son [as the] Savior of the world." Dear friends, today, Sunday December 25, 2016, Christians the world over commemorate and celebrate one of the greatest spiritual events this universe has seen - the birth of the Messiah Jesus Christ, Who left His glory in heaven to become a human being for one singular purpose - to die for the sins of mankind, redeem mankind from the works of the devil and reconcile mankind back to God. I tell you, this is worth celebrating. However, majority of Christians today are only focused on the commercial and material side of the celebration and not the spiritual side, which is most important. Please go to Church with your families today and thank God for what He did when He sent His only begotten Son to this sinful world for the reason I have mentioned above. If you choose to celebrate ...

 Today in my Church we started a 3-day 2016 December retreat program. I had gone out yesterday to share out the invitation flyers to the program when I came across a fellow who rejected it whilst claiming he was an atheist. He was just the second person I had wanted giving it to when he said he won't come and gave his reason. I immediately took interest in him and tried to find out why he had taken such a decision, this year, according to him. He went on to talk about how churches preach about prosperity and nothing else. He also mentioned how religion was the cause of the problem of this world and in spite of all I said in the short time we discussed, I could hardly make sense of what he was saying. He spoke about politicians, religion and corruption and I wondered what the link was. He said churches were springing up everywhere and yet the members were committing evil also. At the end of the day I managed to tell him not to look up to humans for help (Jeremiah 1...
